Firebird vs Turbo Supra and SC400 on a Road course (with video)

Hey guys, Iv'e been a long time member haven't had much to post up until latley. here is a vid of my 1991 Firebird running a open track day at Oregon Raceway park.

I had some friends out on track with me. One had a MKIV Supra Turbo, the other had a SC400 V8. As you can see, my Firebird can Hold its own

Ahahaha, love the "I hope you know what you're doing" point-by before the Supra crashes


That looks like a really fun track.

Agreed. Lots of elevation changes and blind corners.
